Chapter 386: Take the initiative
When Fu Lei came back, the film and television adaptation rights transfer agreement for "Step by Step Shocking" had been signed.
When the agreement was brought over, Sun Quan had already signed and stamped it, so what Fu Lei brought back was a contract, and the other must have been left for the original author.
When this contract was handed to Sun Quan, Sun Quan flipped through it casually, and found no problems, so he nodded to Fu Lei and praised: "Not bad! Good job! Keep working hard." ”
Fu Lei didn't show a smile, but frowned, and asked with some concern: "Mr. Sun, we are not a film and television company, let's buy this adaptation right in our hands, is it useful? Can it really be sold?"
Sun Quan casually put the contract in the drawer, lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "In this way, you can find a way to contact the Tang people and see if this company is interested in the adaptation rights of this book, give it a try!"
"This ...... Is this okay?"
Fu Lei looked very unconfident.
Sun Quan looked at her and nodded slightly, "Try it! Try it and you won't get pregnant, right?"
Fu Lei: "......"
After a few seconds of dumbness, she nodded, "Okay! Then I want to find a way, I hope this company is interested in our adaptation rights! By the way, is this Tang man you are talking about, is it the company that filmed "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" before?"
"Well, that's it!"
"Okay, I see. ”
......
Back in her office, Fu Lei pressed her temples with a little headache, and smiled wryly, it was easy to spend money and it was difficult to make money, and she really felt this feeling now.
When she took a check to buy the film and television adaptation rights of "Step by Step", she felt okay, the initiative was in her hands, and the author of the book was also very polite when she met her, and she was not picky about the terms of the contract, which can be said to be quite smooth.
But now that it's her turn to sell the rights to the adaptation of the book, she's a little bigger.
It's okay if you have connections in this area, the key is that she doesn't know her in the film and television industry, so she goes online to find the contact information of other companies, and then sells her online film and television adaptation rights to others?
No matter how she thought about it, she felt unreliable.
But so what? The boss told her to do this, did she have a choice?
With a sigh, she smiled wryly and searched for Tangren's contact information on the computer.
Not to mention, the contact information of the regular company is really not difficult to find, she quickly found a few numbers and email addresses, of course, these are numbers similar to customer service, I want to find the contact information of the real power of the Tang people directly from the Internet, she Fu Lei does not have that kind of technology.
What if the blind cat hits a dead mouse?
With this thought in mind, Fu Lei picked up the phone on the table and began to dial, the beeping sound rang several times, and when she saw that a number just searched on the Internet was about to be dialed, Fu Lei's fingers suddenly stopped.
He frowned and said to himself: "No, the success rate of doing this is too low, you can't do this, you can't do this......"
Muttering, she suddenly put back the phone, leaned back in her chair and squinted and began to think, and after a while, she suddenly got up and walked out of the office and came to Sun Quan again.
"Mr. Sun, I want to apply for a batch of business trip funds, I want to go on a business trip!"
After entering the door, she said it directly.
Sun Quan, who was coding words, pointed his fingers and looked up at her, his eyes puzzled, "Where do you want to go?"
I think the success rate of just making a phone call to recommend copyright to others is too low, I want to go to the other company, strive to meet the general manager of the person, and then recommend it to them in person, I plan to go to three or five film and television companies to see, if not, go back and find a way, or continue to run a few more companies, I think the success rate of face-to-face sales should be much greater!"
"Oh?"
Sun Quan thoughtfully reached out and took a sip of tea from the teacup, thinking about the method Fu Lei just said, and he agreed with Fu Lei's analysis.
The odds of success in a face-to-face pitch are indeed quite a bit higher than a phone pitch, that's for sure.
He realized that he had thought about it before.
I feel that the Tang people of the original time and space bought the adaptation rights of this book, and the adaptation was very successful, in this time and space, now that the adaptation rights of this book are in his hands, the Tang people will definitely come to him to buy it.
But what's so certain in this world?
Don't you smell it - boiled ducks can fly too?
In this year, the development of online literature has reached a certain stage, and there are a number of online articles with good reputation on major online text websites, in this life, he bought the adaptation rights of "Step by Step" in his own hands in advance, who knows if the Tang people will choose to adapt other works?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it became.
I knew with my knees that after the adaptation rights of "Step by Step" were bought by him, if the Tang people wanted to buy it from him, they would have to pay a higher price.
And if the Tang people buy the adaptation rights of other popular and high-reputation works of the female frequency, it will definitely be much cheaper.
Under this premise, will the Tang people really have to buy the adaptation rights of "Step by Step"?
So, it's not okay to wait for the rabbit!
A positive sales attitude like Fu Lei's is desirable.
There are so many companies in the film and television industry now, even if the Tang people don't want it, they can still sell it to other companies, and it is better to take the initiative than to wait for the rabbit.
"Mr. Sun, what do you think?"
Fu Lei asked.
Sun Quan nodded with a smile, "Yes, you have such enthusiasm, very good! Yes, I agree, in this way, you take Xu Qin, you two go together, there is also a response, when you meet with those company leaders, just say that Xu Qin is your assistant, don't let people underestimate it! As for the funds, you can withdraw it from the studio account first! Just go back and give me a breakdown of expenses!"
Fu Lei: "Okay! Thank you, Mr. Sun!"
Sun Quan: "When are you going to leave?"
Fu Lei: "Let's go two days! There will be a few writers to apply for the job in these two days, and when the interview is over, I will leave!"
Sun Quan smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
......
New year, new atmosphere.
For companies that have a little pursuit, after each New Year, they will hold several meetings to establish a new goal for the new year, and then call on the company to work together to work towards that goal.
The same is true for the Don Company.
No, at the recent company conference, they set a new goal - in the new year, they will choose another high-quality IP and adapt it into a TV series.
Why use the word "again"?
Because before this, Tang Ren chose the IP of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" to adapt two TV series.
And "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was an online game before, a game, and it was adapted into a TV series by them, and it was also very popular, which naturally made them try the sweetness of adaptation.
"The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" has long been filmed, and it has already been broadcast.
The sequel "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" has also been filmed, and now the post-production is almost complete, and the day of premiere is not far away.
In this case, Tang people naturally have to prepare new projects, and they can't let everyone in the company sit idle for a long time.
As one advertisement says: we don't produce water, we're just nature's porters.
The same is true for the Tang people, who are not interested in creating a script and then making it into a TV series.
To be precise, most domestic film and television companies like to find ready-made IP adaptations.
For example, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Dragon Babu" and other mature IPs again and again.
Compared with those companies that like fried leftovers, Tang people are very bold and dare to try new things.
"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is an example.
In the original time and space, dramas such as "Step by Step" are also examples.
Lan Yunhua is the manager of Tangren's copyright department.
Because of the general direction of the company's next step established at the conference a year later, she has been very busy recently, not only assigning the big task of finding the next IP to her subordinates, but even she herself has been a little busy recently.
During the day, she has to sit in the office to review the pre-selected projects that her subordinates have submitted to her, and at night she has to go out to entertain the heads of various websites, as well as some well-known and unknown screenwriters.
For the general public, the IP of Tang Ren's current selection of new dramas is a secret, and few people know about it.
But for people in a certain circle, the secret has long been revealed.
For some well-informed people, even before this year, when the filming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" was completed, it was expected that Tang people would be looking for the script for the next drama in the near future.
People with strength and action have long begun to find ways to promote the resources in their hands, such as the heads of the copyright departments of various large and small online websites.
Some screenwriters who think about selling scripts all day long also try their best to catch up with a certain high-level of the Tang people and sell the scripts in their hands.
Not only can I sell a sum of money, but by the way, I can also look forward to seeing my script become a drama series by the Tang people, and my mother will no longer have to worry about her script being smashed in her hands.
Among them, including the copyright director of Jin Jiang.
Lan Yunhua took a sip of tea from the teacup, and smiled slightly when he thought that he would meet the person in charge of Jinjiang tonight.
I really have some anticipation in my heart.
Because she has long heard that the Internet has been very popular in recent years, and there are many readers, there should be a batch of good quality.
And Jinjiang is one of the major websites of the women's network, and it ranks quite high.
So she has a lot of expectations for tonight's meeting.
She hopes to have a good end tonight and solve her biggest trouble lately.
With such a big station, there should be no shortage of good works with adaptation potential, right?
She thought to herself.
At this moment, the landline phone on her desk rang, and Lan Yunhua picked up the phone casually.
"Hello?"
"Manager Lan, there are two young ladies at the front desk of my mother, they claim to be a studio called Salted Fish, they say that they have business to talk to you, they have to ask me if you would like to meet them? They have been here all afternoon. ”
"Say I don't have time!"
Lan Yunhua hung up the phone after speaking, looking a little impatient, it was really too many similar bullshit studios to ask her to sell scripts recently, she was patient at first, and then she slowly ran out of patience.
What kind of rubbish is written?
Are you embarrassed to take it out and sell it for money?
